AMD is saying that their new chipset quad-core Phenom 9700 and 9900 are going to be delayed again, this time to the end of Q3. Apparently there’s a buffer-related glitch in the original design, so AMD decided to cancel the two chips and “reintroducing” the revised versions in Q3 as the 9750 and 9950 to improve consumer confidence.

Dell Inc. will limit online sales of computers using Advanced Micro Devices Inc. chips as part of a routine adjustment of product offerings. Dell declared it will continue selling its Inspiron AMD-based systems through its retail partners and over the phone - not online though.
